Coal-Tar-Sealing Of Pavements May Increase Risk Of Cancer

By on Tuesday, April 2nd, 2013 | No Comments

People living near asphalt pavement sealed with coal tar have an elevated risk of cancer, according to a study in the journal Environmental Science and Technology. Much of this calculated excess risk results from exposures in children, age six or younger, to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from the sealant…

Hyaluronan Production And Cancer Growth Affected By Cell Sugar Concentrations

By on Friday, March 1st, 2013 | No Comments

According to a recent University of Eastern Finland (UEF) study, elevated cell sugar concentrations increase the production of hyaluronan which, in turn, promotes cancer growth. Regulating the production of hyaluronan may be a way to prevent the spreading of cancer. Hyaluronan is a long, linear carbohydrate polymer present in the human body…

Free Prostate Cancer Screening a Success

By on Friday, February 22nd, 2013 | No Comments

Dr. David Samadi, world-renowned robotic prostate surgeon, provided free prostate cancer screenings at the Chian Foundation in Astoria, New York. More than 50 men attended the February 16th event, receiving free prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood tests and digital rectal exams (DREs). Dr. Samadi believes that both screening measures are highly effective in the early detection of prostate cancer. He will offer continued monitoring and treatment to the men identified with elevated PSA levels. www.roboticoncology.com

Case Western study links molecule to late-stage breast cancer

By on Friday, January 4th, 2013 | No Comments

Prior to this study, from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center, published online in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, the ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule called miR-181a had never before been tied to breast cancer metastasis—but when scientists found elevated levels of the molecule in late-stage breast cancer tissues, they tested an inhibitor in mouse models. The approach not only prevented metastasis, but also extended the animals’ lives.

Geneticists verify cholesterol-cancer link

By on Friday, September 14th, 2012 | No Comments

Scientists have discovered new genetic evidence linking cholesterol and cancer, raising the possibility that cholesterol medications could be useful in the future for cancer prevention or to augment existing cancer treatment. The data support several recent population-based studies that suggest individuals who take cholesterol-lowering drugs may have a reduced risk of cancer, and, conversely that individuals with the highest levels of cholesterol seem to have an elevated risk of cancer.
